A hybrid meeting of Mentors from Problem Based Learning South Asia was conducted at Nepal Engineering College (nec), Changunarayan on Wednesday 13th April, 2022 where mentors (teachers) from the college and Sagarmatha Engineering College (SEC) participated in person while others from different regions of South Asia joined online. The in-person meeting was organized as a workshop facilitated by Ms. Julia Renko who is the Coordinator at the Department of Built Environment - Water & Environmental Engineering at Aalto University School of Engineering. Meanwhile, the online meeting was facilitated by Ms. MatleenaMuhonen, Academic Coordinator at Aalto University.
The workshop was third of its kind where the mentors learnt about Reflecting Learning process. The earlier two were held online. The objective of the workshop was to provide mentors with information regarding their role as mentors in reflective learning process and also regarding how and when to support reflections. Interactions during the workshop between mentors and facilitators were very interactive and enlightening for many mentors.
The workshop concluded that reflective learning can help students take ownership of their learning and monitor their progress throughout any project. Mentors guide the student to strengthen their capacity to think critically and also to be creative during their learning process. In short, reflective learning process is an iterative process of learning where students learn from past experiences and become able to find their way forward to set future steps in their projects with proper guidance from the mentors.
The next (4th mentors’) meeting is scheduled for 5th of May 2022 where the mentors will interact on how to assess students’ works and come up with various evaluation methods as these vary in different regions of South Asia. <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
